About the Artist
When you see this bubbly personality and energized smile you would never guess that underneath it all is a voice with such a soulful pop edge. Most compare Lauren Light’s style to a mixture of Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson and Fiona Apple all stirred together. "When I first heard her work, I was floored at the raw power in her voice, and immediately looked her up. When I listened to all her music, I was not disappointed. Far from it; I was blown away. Lauren has a way of taking the things life has to offer, and crafting songs that encourage and uplift in those trying times. Whether encouraging her listeners to do the right thing in a hard situation, or lifting their spirits during times of despair, Lauren has the gift: The ability to connect and make a difference." -Must Have Music
"Lauren Light took a studious approach to her music career, getting a Master’s certificate in Business/Songwriting from Berklee College of Music online while working for a music booking agency. If anything, Light’s background explains the polish in her songwriting. The North Carolinian has a mainstream pop sensibility…she takes a no nonsense approach to pop music, cranking out cathatic, catchy tracks in the vein of artist Fiona Apple.” -Ourstage
She has performed with a handful of bands touring from her home town of Lexington NC all the way to New Mexico. She has made a huge splash into the music scene from being named 2012 BEST ROCK FEMALE in the Carolina Music Awards, winning Kernersville Idol, getting runner up for “Go Triads” Best New Act, and runner up for 2012 Best Vocalist in “Yes Weekly.”
Lauren and her band have been booked weekly after forming in June 0f 2011. Playing a variety of places such as Everybody’s Day, the High Point Furniture Market, Summertime Brews Festival, Kernernersville Spring Folley, and the 2012 Rugby World Cup just for starters.

Her song “Stay With Me” was featured in a local North Carolina Clothing commercial, has released successful music videos and gained press from local and national media.
